I won an ebay auction for Wyndham points on 6/21/11. I signed the contract and paid immediately by credit card. I was to receive all points for 2011 and would be responsible for maintenance fees beginning 8/20/11.
On 6/23/11, I received an email from the closing agent informing me the entire process would take 10-12 weeks.
On 9/1/11 and 11/13/11 I received more emails informing me all paperwork was sent to the resort for the final stage and it would take 8-12 weeks.
I contacted Wyndham on 12/15/11 to check status of transfer and was told they still needed a death certificate to complete transfer.
I contacted the seller several times during the last 6 months and was told "Don't worry the transfer will be completed by the end of the year and if not he would give me replacement points. I called the seller again late December regarding the replacement points and was told he never told me he would replace the points. I asked if he would pay the maintenance fees from 8/11-12/31/11 but he refused. I contacted my credit card company and explained to them my problem and they agreed to open a dispute.
I informed the seller I disputed my credit card charge. First, the seller threatened to sue me. He then offered to replace the points if I sent him a payment through paypal for the disputed amount but the points would be placed in their corporate account for me to make a reservation. I really wanted to deposit the points into RCI. Another option was to sign a POA so they can change the deed back to their name, I refused to sign a opened ended POA. I agreed to sign the deed but when I received the deed it shows my name but their address. I do not trust the seller and do not want get something notorized when I know the address is incorrect.
What should I do should I wait until the credit card company makes their decision on my dispute. If I win I would sign the deed but if I lose I don't think the seller will return the property or return my money. Sorry this is so long.
